    lookup the intersection of a single column value and a column defined by 2 values

    I need to lookup the intersection of a single row value and a column defined by the intersection of 2 values. I wish I could say that I gave this a good attempt but I am empty handed.

    In the below example:
    Lookup a runner's time based on jersey color and week number
    The weeks may appear in any order

    Are the jersey colors unique across their row? What about week numbers? If so (for either) just do an INDEX(MATCH,MATCH).

    If not, more error handling is necessary -- for example, what happens if Ann runs twice in Week 05, but happened to be wearing the same jersey both times?

    Weeks are unique but jersey colors will repeat. I made an error in the above example by showing the same week twice.

    Yeah that's a simple 2D lookup.

    Try this in B11:
    =INDEX(B3:E6, MATCH(B8, A3:A6, 0), MATCH(B10, B1:E1, 0))
